Domestic Help Agencies - A Helpful Guide

By Alice Sy


If you are looking for domestic help agencies, you must know that there may be numerous of them that you can find in your own local area. The thing is, not every one of them is equipped with a license to operate. Even if some may have been granted a license before, the license may already be expired and has not been renewed.

Thus, one of the first things that you need to do is to go to regulating agencies and get a list of agencies for domestic helpers. Unless you have done so, you cannot begin hunting for the one that can offer you the best deal.

So what exactly are the things that you need to give particular attention to when searching for domestic help agencies? The very first thing that you must insist on seeing is the contract. Professional agencies will have no problems handing you a copy of the contract for you to review it. Sometimes, you may find it difficult to understand every single detail that is written, in which case you can always approach a lawyer to help you. It's normal to be concerned about legal fees, but you should be more concerned of what happens if the terms and conditions of the contract are to your disadvantage.

Aside from the contract, one other thing that you need to give attention to is the service fee. Maid agencies may differ with one another in terms of service fees. While some charge on a monthly basis, others do so only once. Nonetheless, make sure that you are not being overcharged by knowing first the prevailing rates of maid agencies.

The availability of training programs can also narrow down your choices of domestic help agencies. You see, not every agency conducts trainings so if you want someone who you can very much entrust your house to, choose an agency that develops the skills and knowledge of its maid applicants through training programs.
